if I can't have a Kirkham, then I'd rather have one, of a couple of manufacturers, of AU kits

I am an Australian resident (house and kids in Queensland) but have lived in US for 2 1/2 years with a green card. I have a cobra in Australia which I cant import to US. I want a cobra. I can buy one in US and take it back to Aussie (or NZ were will I end up living?) when I go back as a personal import as long as I have it in US for > 1 year. I would have to convert (or purchase in States new from Superformance or BDR) to RH drive and have mirrors seat belts done. Pretty straight forward when working through with my engineer, I could do the work myself while in US.
I would like to select a Cobra which would have value in Aussie.
Options are huge and legal from all the info I have collated.
So what should I get.
I want a hill climb, track day, road car that I can grow with and live my dream.
Cheers

I thought that if you owned it while living O/S for x period of time, then you did not need to convert to R/H drive?
I would prefer R/H drive, but did not think it was a requirement.
There are alot of new and newish L/H drive cars in Alice (Pine Gap employees)

Modena,
Agreed, but why can't you have a Kirkham?
Jethrow,
Your FFR mark 4 Chassis looks rigid enough to me.
How's your build coming along?
